The correct response is:

No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can.

The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, and it cannot exceed the actual air temperature. If the dew point temperature were greater than the air temperature, it would imply that the air is holding more water vapor than it can at that temperature, which is not physically possible.
